Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at hastingsbizsolutions.com (the “Website”), owned and operated by Hastings Business Solutions, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“HBS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Website, you (“you” or “User”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Website.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By browsing, accessing, or otherwise using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Website, regardless of whether you submit a contact form, schedule a consultation, or simply browse the site’s content.

We may update or revise these Terms from time to time as described in Section 12 below. Your continued use of the Website after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of the Website

The Website is an informational and marketing site intended to describe HBS’s bookkeeping and financial services, provide general information about the firm and its team, communicate HBS’s general pricing philosophy, and allow visitors to request information, submit a contact form, or schedule a free introductory consultation through an embedded third-party scheduling tool (currently Microsoft Bookings).

The Website may reference service categories such as monthly bookkeeping, QuickBooks Online setup, catch-up bookkeeping, chart of accounts cleanup, bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable support, financial reporting, and year-end accountant preparation. These references are provided for general informational purposes only. They describe the types of services HBS may offer and do not constitute an offer to perform services, a quote, or a binding service agreement of any kind.

HBS does not publish fixed pricing on the Website. All pricing is provided through individualized, custom quotes following a consultation and is subject to the terms of a separate signed engagement agreement, as described in Section 4 below.

3. No Professional Advice

All content on the Website — including text, articles, service descriptions, pricing philosophy, and any other materials — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Website constitutes, and should not be relied upon as, individualized bookkeeping, accounting, tax, financial, legal, or other professional advice.

Your specific financial and business circumstances are unique, and general information published on the Website may not apply to your situation. You should not act or refrain from acting based on any content on the Website without seeking independent, individualized advice from a qualified professional. HBS disclaims any responsibility for actions taken or not taken based on the content of the Website.

4. No Client Relationship Formed Through Website Use

Browsing the Website, submitting a contact form, requesting information, or scheduling a free consultation through the Website does NOT create a client relationship, an engagement, or any contractual obligation between you and HBS. No confidential, privileged, or fiduciary relationship of any kind is formed through use of the Website.

A client relationship with HBS begins only when both you and HBS have executed a separate, signed engagement letter or Statement of Work that sets out the specific services to be performed, fees, timelines, and other applicable terms. Until such an agreement is signed by both parties, HBS has no obligation to provide any services to you, and any information you share through the Website’s contact form or scheduling tool should not be treated as confidential or protected by any professional-client privilege.

You should not send sensitive financial, tax, banking, or personally identifiable information through the Website’s contact form or scheduling tool. HBS is not responsible for the security of information transmitted before a signed engagement is in place and before secure, client-specific systems have been established.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on the Website — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, the HBS name and branding, color schemes, page layouts, and the overall “look and feel” of the site — is the property of Hastings Business Solutions, LLC or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may view and print pages from the Website for your own personal, non-commercial reference. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, republish, or create derivative works from any content on the Website for commercial purposes without HBS’s prior written consent.

6. User Conduct and Acceptable Use

When using the Website, you agree that you will not:

• Use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable local, state, or federal law or regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Website, related systems, or networks.
• Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code, or otherwise interfere with the security or proper functioning of the Website.
• Use automated means (including bots, scrapers, or crawlers) to access or collect data from the Website without HBS’s prior written permission.
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity, when submitting a contact form or scheduling request.
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information through the Website’s contact form or scheduling tool.

HBS reserves the right to restrict or terminate your access to the Website, at its sole discretion, if we believe you have violated these Terms.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

The Website may reference, integrate with, or link to third-party platforms and services, including QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Bookings, which is embedded on the Website to allow scheduling of consultations. These third-party services are owned and operated by independent companies, and your use of them is governed by their own respective terms of service and privacy policies, not by these Terms.

HBS does not control, endorse, or assume any responsibility for the content, functionality, availability, security, or privacy practices of any third-party platform, website, or service referenced on or linked from the Website. You use any such third-party service at your own discretion and risk, and we encourage you to review the applicable third party’s terms and privacy policy before use.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

HBS does not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any information on the Website is accurate, complete, current, or reliable. Any reliance you place on the content of the Website is at your own risk.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HBS AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE WEBSITE, EVEN IF HBS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HBS’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). This limitation applies solely to use of the Website itself; it does not apply to, limit, or modify any liability provisions in a separate, signed client engagement letter or Statement of Work, which is a distinct agreement governed by its own terms.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Hastings Business Solutions, LLC and its owners, members, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Website; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

11. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Website shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

12. Changes to These Terms

HBS may revise or update these Terms from time to time at its sole discretion. When we do, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
